In the economy of God, there is no need to scuffle for the
position of principal importance because it doesn’t exist!
The ministry needs men who are willing to waive all honor
and accolade for the opportunity to be a servant, but never a slave, of all, in
humility and of a gentle but equitable disposition.
By nature, no one wants to be counted last in benefits and
worth, but the wise leader would covet that obscure spot, conscious that a
cloud of witnesses had been in the same standing, and the Lord Jesus himself,
and who are we to be numbered first?
